I have created some text replacements in the Keyboard area of System Preferences. However, with every reboot, they disappear and the only one that remains is the "omw" item that comes with macOS.
I am using macOS v12.1 (Monterey).
Any insights?

I noticed mine was the same ones I had set on my phone with the same Apple ID. I have never seen a settings area though to back this section up to my iClould. You might want to try and make sure your iClould is on and syncing to see if that makes any difference. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the thoughts. These users are not signed into Apple ID or iCloud on their systems so it is independent of that. The added text replacements disappear every time they restart their system.
Thanks! Signing into iCloud (which I don't use) worked. Because I don't use the service it didn't occur to me this might be linked. I'm curious about why Apple chose to require these two functions to be linked. I understand the value for those who are multi-device users, but there should be an option for single-device users to have the functionality without iCloud.
Have you found a solution? I have seen this now with at least 2 macs running Monterey.

Give it a shot. Signing into iCloud worked for me.
Will give this a try. Thanks for your help.
This fixed it for me as well. Sounds like a bug.
